Duende International Flamenco Festival: Flamenco and the World
Wednesday, November 18–Sunday, November 22, 2026
Aga Khan Museum, Massey Hall, Nanji Family Foundation Auditorium
Celebrate flamenco’s global transformation through cross-cultural exchange at the Aga Khan Museum’s 12th annual Duende International Flamenco Festival: Flamenco and the World.
From November 18 to 22, experience the vibrant evolution of flamenco — from its regional roots in Andalusia to a dynamic global art form shaped by cross-cultural exchange. This year’s lineup spans both traditional flamenco from Andalusia and innovative collaborations at the crossroads of qawwali and Persian muqam, tracing the art form’s evolution from its regional roots to a global practice.
